When an equation is written in this form, m gives the slope of the line and b gives its y -intercept. Want to learn more about slope-intercept form? Check out this video.

In slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), the "b" is the y-intercept at (0,b). For example: y=2x-5, the 2 is the slope of the line and the -5 if the y-intercept at (0,-5)

Slope tells us how steep a line is. It's like measuring how quickly a hill goes up or down. We find the slope by seeing how much we go up or down (vertical change) for each step to the right (horizontal …

Slope & direction of a line Positive & negative slope Worked example: slope from graph Slope of a line: negative slope Worked example: slope from two points Slope from equation Converting to slope …

Worked examples practicing the relationship between slope, y-intercept, and linear equation in slope-intercept form.

Learn how to find the slope-intercept equation of a line from two points on that line. If you haven't read it yet, you might want to start with our introduction to slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) of linear equations highlights the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of a line. Watch this video to learn more about it and see some examples.

Learn how to graph lines whose equations are given in the slope-intercept form y=mx+b.

This topic covers: - Intercepts of linear equations/functions - Slope of linear equations/functions - Slope-intercept, point-slope, & standard forms - Graphing linear equations/functions - Writing linear …

There are three major forms of linear equations: point-slope form, standard form, and slope-intercept form. We review all three in this article.
